Welcome back April
Milestone malady I call it. And a lot of people suffer.
Remember these feelings are not real.

Hey everyone. Day 16 here. Today I just feel like saying I am very grateful to know I have to ability to forgive. Self-forgiveness is just important as forgiving others. I thought being bitter was an innate reaction but I am certain it is an action (addiction if you will?) learned from others. Undoing these patterns is very rewarding and eye- opening.
Have an awesome day.

I would advise to talk to your therapist first. Family relationships are the most complex.
Hope all will go fine!

Thank you for your concern! I have been to my therapist since I talked to my parents. I know, that it is a sensitive issue, but still I’m sure that it had to be told. I don’t blame them at all, if they never accept it, until they do it a respectful way.
I understand. I just meant people in general. Obviously your parents are someone you want to be open and honest with.

Checking in after lunch. Another beautiful clear sunny day here.
So I finally got up the nerve to make a chiropractor appointment yesterday. I’ve been too scared to go see him and it’s been since January. I usually do chiropractics regularly to help ease my back pain.
Well, since Rona, I’ve decided I don’t really need to go. But the back is acting up a little. Probably needs adjusting. I talked to them about their COVID-19 protocol and they said he’d wear a mask if I requested. So I requested. I will wear one too NP. And to wait in the car until my appointment time. His wife called me this morning to reschedule if I had health concerns. Of course I have health concerns!! They suggested I come in first appointment Monday am because they couldn’t guarantee people would be coming and going in the middle of the day today with a mask on. So I thought OK. Monday first call after he’s closed all weekend and cleaned sounds fine. I was pretty anxious making the appointment in the first place. I thought they had a great idea when they called me back. But I’m still wondering why he doesn’t make everyone wear a mask. I don’t get it? It’s not my business to run though so I guess he can make that choice. I don’t have to go to him would be my choice. Personally I think it’s irresponsible of him with all the Covid-19 cases on the rise all over the world. I guess it’s the new world of Covid. I reckon I’ll go Monday morning and see how it goes.
Ya know, I never use to feel anxious. I guess I always had liquor to fix anxiety.
Sober on folks.

Omg! I had no idea dogs could have an addiction. I guess you have no choice but to muzzle her. It’s not like you can send her to counseling to learn how to resist urges. I learn a lot on this forum.

You know, I kind of feel like dealing with anxiety is a cost/benefit analysis. Sure you could stay home and not possibly expose yourself to COVID, but then you wouldn’t be able to go out to the chiropractor and your back would hurt. Is the possibility (cost) of getting COVID worth the benefit of having a better quality of life by not having a sore back?
I do this kind of thing all the time over so many things, especially flying. Is the cost (the possibility of dying a horrible fiery death) worth the benefit that I get of traveling and visiting people? Though I also find the idea of dying in a plane crash more terrifying than COVID. I’m not sure what that says about me.
Meditation tho.
I meditate in my flights. I meditate before my flights. It’s helped me not be a hyper A type personality (or an AAAAAAAA type personality 
)
Good luck with the chiropractor! I hope all goes well and that you feel comfortable when you go in.
